Abstract
A set of compliance policy updates are received. The compliance policy updates are sent to workloads for application. A status of the application of the compliance policies to the workloads is received from the workloads and output.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- using a computer processor to send a compliance policy update from a compliance policy authoring system to a workload for deployment to the workload;
- sending bindings from the compliance policy authoring system to the workload, the bindings being indicative of which portions of the workload that the compliance policy update applies to;
- automatically receiving a compliance policy status indicator from the workload indicative of a status of deployment of the compliance policy update to the workload, the compliance policy status indicator including:
- an error indication indicative of an error in application of the compliance policy update to the workload;
- and
- a binding level error indication indicative of a portion of the workload where the error occurred;
- and
- based on the compliance policy status indicator, displaying a status display element indicative of whether the compliance policy update is currently being deployed to to the workload or whether deployment of the compliance policy update to the workload has completed, the status display element indicating the error in application of the compliance policy update and the portion of the workload where the error occurred.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a compliance policy update at a workload;
- receiving bindings at the workload indicative of which portions of the workload that the compliance policy update applies to;
- using a computer processor to automatically deploy the compliance policy update to different portions of the workload identified by the received bindings;
- automatically identifying a deployment status indicative of whether the deployment of the compliance policy update to the workload is in progress or has completed;
- automatically identifying a binding level status indicative of a status of the deployment to each of the different portions of the workload and whether an error occurred in deployment of the compliance policy update to each portion;
- and
- sending the deployment status and the binding level status to a compliance policy authoring and management system.
4 more elements
A compliance policy system, comprising:
- a policy distribution system configured to:
- distribute a compliance policy update to a plurality of different workloads;
- and
- send bindings to each of the workloads indicative of which portions of each workload that the compliance policy update applies to;
- a policy status processing system configured to:
- receive a status indicator from each of the workloads indicative of a deployment status of the compliance policy update to the workload, the status indicator including:
- an error indication indicative of an error in application of the compliance policy update to the workload;
- and
- a binding level error indication indicative of a portion of the workload where the error occurred;
- and
- generate a policy status display element based on the status indicators, the policy status display element indicating a status of deployment of the compliance policy update to each of the plurality of different workloads;
- a user interface component configured to display the policy status display element, wherein, for each workload, the policy status display element is indicative of whether the compliance policy update is currently being deployed to the workload or whether deployment of the compliance policy update to the workload has completed, and the policy status display element indicates the error in application of the compliance policy and the portion of the workload where the error occurred;
- and
- a computer processor that is a functional part of the system and is activated by the policy distribution system, the policy status processing system and the user interface component to facilitate distributing, generating and displaying.
